Madam:
I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 42180, it appears that JACOB DOERFLER ms. 7.1a enlisted in January, 1776, place not stated, and served one year as a private in Captain North's Company in Colonel Anthony Wayne's Pennsylvania Regiment. Immediately afterward he enlisted and served in Captain Terrey's and Lloyd's Companies in the "Congress' Own" Regiment under General Moses Hazen; he was wounded in the left hand and arm and was discharged June 20, 1783.
He was allowed pension on his application executed December 28, 1818, at which time he was sixty-two years of age and was a resident of Rockland Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania.
In 1820 he referred to his wife, Catharine, as being sixty- three  two years of age.
Owing to the great pressure of current work and the lack of clerical force available for the purpose, only two histories are furnished each ingrate.
Respectfully,
WINIFRED HOYT Granddaughter

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Jacob Rothchild, pensioned May 7, 1833, and Samuel Plevell, pensioned March 18, 1833.
The Revolutionary War records of this office have been searched and the summary cited by you as Samuel Plevell appears on the list of pensioners published by the Secretary of War in regard to the pension establishment of the United States, printed in 1834, this name is erroneously printed Samuel Plevell.
The records of Samuel Plevell and Jacob Rothchild are furnished herewith on separate pages, from the papers on file in their respective claims for pension, based upon service in the Revolutionary War.
